Archaeologists using drones have discovered more than 25 geoglyphs in the coastal desert in southern Peru, near the Nazca Lines, south of Lima.

The drawings depict a woman dancing and a killer whale and are believed to have been made by the Paracas culture more than 2,000 years ago. This would date them to hundreds of years before the Nazca people created their famous lines and drawings.

In a separate development in Pachacamac, 25 miles south of Lima, a team from the centre for archaeological research at the Université Libre de Bruxelles have discovered a well-preserved intact mummy at least 1,000 years old.
